Answer to Problem 10STP
The balanced equation is
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
Now, the balanced equation is
Explanation:
Left side Right side
Now we start balancing the easiest element such as
Left side Right side
P=1 P = 1
Cl = 5 Cl = 1×5 = 5
H=2 H = 3+ (1×5) = 8
O=1 O = 4
Now equation becomes
PCl5 + H2O = H3PO4 + 5HCl
Now we balancing the H atom
Left side Right side
So, finally the given equation is balanced
The balanced equation is
